"He is a person of exceptional gift, a natural unprocessed diamond of Tuvan modern music." Said Sainkho Namtchylak about Gendos.
Contemporary ethno music from Tuva.
Gendos is a musician, master and teacher of throat singing, instrumentalist, dungur maker, stone and wooden sculptor, shaman. He is a master of KARGYRAA, the lowest among the base styles of throat singing. It is closely connected with his shaman identity.
Gendos is an uncommon person of Tuvian music scene. He develops traditional Tuvan music what makes him avant-garde person among Siberian artists. While well acquainted with styles like contemporary western music, jazz, rock or blues, he is not seduced in to direct, simply "fusion", but creates folk music deeply steeped in shamanic tradition.
"Each solo concert is a mystery which fascinates the audience. Powerful performances show the shaman soul of Gendos and the beauty of Tuvian songs. His archaic and primeval singing hypnotizes listeners and gives them energy.".
He plays such traditional instruments as dungur-shaman frame drum, dosphulur, homus-Jew harp, chadagan, igil, cello.
